Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle

Are you dealing with a blocked drain in South Tyneside and wondering if bicarbonate of soda can be the solution? At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we've seen our fair share of clogged drains, and we're here to help you understand whether bicarbonate of soda is the answer to your problem.

Bicarbonate of soda, also known as baking soda, is a natural and non-corrosive substance that can help break down blockages in your drains. When mixed with hot water, it creates a chemical reaction that can help dissolve grease, hair, and other debris that may be clogging your drain. However, it's essential to note that bicarbonate of soda may not be effective in removing more severe blockages, such as those caused by root ingress or collapsed pipes.

If you're experiencing a minor blockage, such as a slow-draining sink or toilet, bicarbonate of soda might be worth trying. Here's a simple method you can follow:

1. Pour 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda down the drain.
2. Follow with 2 cups of hot water.
3. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Pour another 2 cups of hot water down the drain to rinse.

While bicarbonate of soda can be a useful tool in maintaining your drains, it's not a substitute for professional drain cleaning services. If you're dealing with a more severe blockage, it's best to call in the experts. At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we use advanced equipment, such as high-pressure water jetting and CCTV surveys, to diagnose and clear blockages quickly and efficiently.

Using bicarbonate of soda to clean your drains is a relatively inexpensive method, with a cup of baking soda costing around 50p. However, if the blockage persists, you may end up spending more money on repeated attempts to clear the blockage. In contrast, hiring a professional drain cleaning service may seem more expensive upfront, but it can save you money in the long run by preventing further damage to your pipes and reducing the risk of future blockages.
